For my thesis I want to show some pictures, like this: Image collage on A4
What is the best way to code this in overleaf?
So far I was able to get the pictures somewhat in the places I wanted them with the following code. However, I don't know how to get the Figure caption in between the pictures like I want it. I was able to put some text in the place where I want the figure caption, but if I write \caption{} in that place, it gives an error.
\begin{figure}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{@{} c c @{}}
\begin{tabular}{@{} c @{}}
\includegraphics[width=0.48\textwidth]{Pictures/M&M/01_sampling.png} \\[10ex]
Text \\[1ex]
\includegraphics[width=0.48\textwidth]{Pictures/M&M/06_sorting.png}
\end{tabular}
&
\begin{tabular}{@{} c @{}}
\includegraphics[width=0.48\textwidth]{Pictures/M&M/02_sampling.png} \\[1ex]
\includegraphics[width=0.48\textwidth]{Pictures/M&M/03_sampling.png}\\[1ex]
\includegraphics[width=0.48\textwidth]{Pictures/M&M/04_sampling.png}\\[1ex]
\includegraphics[width=0.48\textwidth]{Pictures/M&M/05_sampling.png}
\end{tabular}
\end{tabular}
\caption{}\label{whatever}
\end{figure}
So after some time I found this option which worked perfectly:
\begin{figure}[!htp]
\centering
\valign{#\cr
\hsize=0.48\textwidth
\subfloat{\includegraphics[width=\hsize]{Pictures/M&M/01_sampling.png}}\vfill
\caption{Text}\vspace{5pt}
\subfloat{\includegraphics[width=\hsize]{Pictures/M&M/06_sorting.png}}\cr
\noalign{\hfill}
\hsize=0.48\textwidth
\subfloat{\includegraphics[width=\hsize]{Pictures/M&M/02_sampling.png}}\vfill
\subfloat{\includegraphics[width=\hsize]{Pictures/M&M/03_sampling.png}}\vfill
\subfloat{\includegraphics[width=\hsize]{Pictures/M&M/04_sampling.png}}\vfill
\subfloat{\includegraphics[width=\hsize]{Pictures/M&M/05_sampling.png}}\cr
}
\end{figure}
